Should I work out and get my desired gym body before my BBL procedure or after?

Thanks for your question. Keep in mind, the BBL requires liposuction. At my practice, the BBL includes 360 lipo, which is lipo of the upper and lower abdomen, the upper and lower back and the flanks. If you do not have enough fat in these areas, liposuction can be performed in many other areas of the body such as the upper arms and chin. That said, you need to have enough fat for transfer. Depending on your desired results, you may be asked to gain some weight if you have an athletic/toned body. I recommend you schedule a consult for a proper evaluation. Make sure your surgeon you choose has extensive experience performing BBL surgery and clean credentials. Always consult with a board certified plastic surgeon.

Hello
Dear patient ,
according to your direct question I recommend the workout after the surgery the reason says that you are about to have a new shape for body so after the surgery you will understand what areas you will care about and areas you will make look more athletic so after the surgery your mind will be free to design a new shape for body . workouts dont affect the results it gives the shape even a better looking because here you are working out for the muscles not the fats to get rid of .

Dear tippytoo,
every plastic surgeon has his own preoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients. Generally speaking, it is better to achieve the desired shape before the procedure and get BBL to improve it. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon.

For most patients, the improvement in physique that can be made in 2 hours in the operating room cannot be achieved with diet and exercise. Keeping fit is good before the surgery. As long as you have enough body fat for the surgery, then working out can only help you. For most patients strenuous activity can be resumed 6 weeks post op. Squats and lunges after BBL will increase muscle bulk and definition, which is probably a good thing if you are looking to achieve a more projected, lifted buttock. However, just make sure that the body fat percentage is held in check or you will lose some of the fat.

Hi there, This is an excellent question and one that I am asked frequently in consultations. It is best to undergo plastic surgery when you are at your goal weight and/or fitness level. You want to have a maintainable program in place that gets you to your goal and keeps you there for at least 3 months if possible. This allows the surgeon to tailor your procedure and results to your ideal frame. It will also help you maintain those killer results after the fact. Whatever you do, no crash dieting or overexercising before surgery. You want to be tanked up as far as nutrition to recover as efficiently as possible.

The buttock shape is not just made with fat they are formed due to the muscles underlying the fat. So therefore to have a great athletic buttock you should add muscle! Just make sure not to lose to much body fat or your surgeon will not have enough fat to transfersincerelyDr.G

Of course it’s better to stay fit and exercise. That’s pretty much true for everybody all the time.

No one is going to tell you that it’s better to get cosmetic surgery and exercise later.

There’s a big difference on talking the talk and walking the walk when it comes to getting fit.

Those to do it don’t talk about it and those who talk about it typically don’t do it.

By all means,

Start exercising and stay fit.

You may or may not be a candidate for a BBL.

Exercise is generally always a good idea.

Best,
